I went to the Stitch and Creative Crafts exhibition last Friday, along with lots of other people. I went with Freda and we bumped into several people we knew, and got talking to quite a few others that we didn't know! Crafters are always friendly, especially over a cup of tea! Most people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I'm not at all into needle crafts - neither my eyesight nor my patience are good enough, so there was too much of that and not enough stamping for me, but it was still good fun, and great for embellishments and equipment. I did get some stamps from one of my favourite companies, Invoke Arts. Also picked up a kit to try to make a "paverpol" picture. If it turns out any good, I'll put the result on here! Also picked up some molds for friendly plastic faces, never had much success with that stuff, so I hope the molds will improve my technique. Neet, the demonstrator, was very helpful & encouraging. I'd love to know what other people thought of the show anyway. My biggest bugbear is the cost of parking, travelling there by public transport is just not an option from the out-of-the way place where I live! There's the Happy Stampers show to look forward to soon as well.

Great idea of Glenda's to send us all on a blogcrawl. I'm seeing some lovely creations including yours. I particularly like the second entry for Glenda's stampbord comp but they're all great and you have used some really interesting techniques. I'd love to go to some of the workshops you've been to.

About Me

I have always loved to craft - knitting, sewing, painting, pottery, home decor - I've done them all. Took up papercrafting perhaps 5 years ago, that led very quickly to stamping, then to mixed-media. I love it, as there's something to learn all the time from all the incredibly creative people around. At the moment jewellery making is my favourite craft!
